About Star Trac

Star Trac was founded in 1979 by Michael Bruno and has spent decades developing, designing, and engineering fitness machines that focus on innovation and quality to meet the demands of diverse fitness facilities. The brand did not begin as a consumer company trying to break into gyms; it was built from the ground up as a commercial fitness equipment manufacturer. In 1987, Star Trac introduced the Star Trac 2000, the first DC-powered commercial treadmill designed exclusively for health clubs, a landmark moment that helped define commercial fitness equipment as a category distinct from consumer gear.

Star Trac served as the primary manufacturer for the Spinning program for over a decade, cementing their reputation for biomechanical excellence in indoor cycling. Today Star Trac is part of Core Health and Fitness, a portfolio that also includes StairMaster, Nautilus, Schwinn, and Throwdown, giving the brand access to a shared engineering ecosystem that continues to inform every product they build. With over 1.1 million machines installed globally in the last decade, Star Trac has mastered the balance between high-tech connectivity and mechanical simplicity, prioritizing rugged durability and open-platform connectivity over proprietary subscription models. Browse the full in-stock Star Trac lineup at The Fitness Outlet including treadmills, ellipticals, upright and recumbent bikes, and stair climbers. Compared to Life Fitness, Star Trac tends to take a more open-platform approach to technology, making them a preferred choice for facilities that want commercial-grade durability without locking into proprietary ecosystems.
